Excellent Lunch! We needed to stop for lunch and decided to try something different. The restaurant had started a new lunchtime menu that day with a selection of small dishes. I ordered the selection and my partner ordered chicken katsu from the lunch menu. The selection of food was great along with the taste and service. It's the first time I have been to Raynes Park and will go back again to Gaya for lunch.

I've been here a few times. The food is exceptional and very traditional of Korean cuisine.
It has a nice, relaxed atmosphere and the service is very attentive and timely.
A fun place to enjoy a meal, especially with the table BBQ!
The prices have risen over the years but it's still well worth it!
My only gripe would be you can only buy the house wine by the glass, and other wines are by the bottle. And it is a very small glass..
Anyway, I'm looking forward to coming back here and wish the best for all the hardworking staff here! Let's gooo!- Meal type

I ordered takeaway from Gaya and everything was absolutely delicious! 🥢🇰🇷
The soups were rich and flavorful, the jjamppong (spicy seafood noodle soup) had just the right amount of heat and depth, and the tangsuyuk (sweet and sour pork) was perfectly crispy with a tasty sauce. Even the side dishes were fresh and well-prepared.
You can really tell they put care into their cooking. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon!- Meal type

I was so happy when my friend discovered this Korean restaurant near my home. Everything is absolutely delicious, and the staff are always friendly. One day, I arrived just 10 minutes before their midday closure, but they still let me order and enjoy my lunch without rushing me. It’s definitely worth checking out—I’ve been coming here regularly ever since!

Tiny Korean restaurant that packs a punch. Having tried the majority of New Malden offering, this is one of best out there for traditional dishes. The seafood pancake was our highlight (flavour, thickness and texture to perfection). We saw many tables ordering the tempura prawn, possibly good, but batter lacked colour. The Kim Chi stew was sharp and tasty. Service a little lacking, with some staff refusing to make eye contact for fear of having to address you. Conveniently lots of parking available on the residential road outside.- Food

If you want to experience the true taste of authentic Korean food, I highly recommend this place. Unlike in Central, they serve proper Korean-style side dishes, which are absolutely delicious and complimentary. The prices are also reasonable, and the food tastes amazing—definitely a must-try!

It was a recommendation from our Korean hairdressers. Now it’s our favourite Korean restaurant of all time. Every dish we have tried was just perfect and NOT pricey at all.
I really like their rice too — is it red bean or mixed grain rice?
The staff are super super super friendly too. They always come to provide just-right service when you need it. It’s baby/children friendly too. The lady always came to remind us which dish baby can try which might be too spicy. So nice.
Really like this restaurant.Owner response

Excellent, traditional Korean bbq with a wide selection of classic Korean dishes. Everything was well prepared, the side dishes, the appetisers and the bbq itself were all full of flavour and authentically made. The waitress was happy to explain the different options and give some recommendations as well as suggest extras to complete the experience. The adlay tea and citron honey tea were nice options to have and round out a great Korean lunch. Come hungry, as the portions are generous but delicious.- Service
